you are not the only one who feels this way. to me, dreads isn't  " just a style". i told this girl i was getting dreads in the near future and she said " oh ok that's what's poppin"  and all i could think was ugh, that;s not why im getting them! to me it's a journey to myself, the finally stages of me becoming a whole person, which is confusing, but that is how i feel. to get them is such a special thing for me, and the fact that some people don't have as much passion for dreads as i do, kinda makes it less special for me, but every1 is entitled to do what they want to do with their hair, im just stating my opinion.  just letting you know that you are not alone when it comes to the true meaning of dreads.  :)
